2017 MATE ROV Competition

PORT CITIES OF THE FUTURE: COMMERCE, ENTERTAINMENT, HEALTH, AND SAFETY

The 2017 MATE competition highlights the role that ROVs will play in streamlining commerce, maintaining entertainment, and ensuring both health and safety of port cities of the future.

The 16th annual MATE international ROV competition will take place June 23-25, 2017 at Long Beach City College in Long Beach, California, USA. Regional contests will take across the U.S. and around the world.

The MATE Center is starting a series of technical bulletins designed to help teams engineer and construct safe, functional (and built to MATE specs!) ROVs. See below for links to these resources. If there is a particular topic your team would like to see, please contact us!
